Daddy Longlegs

pragmatic1

Any tips for getting these annoying cnuts out of my room without killing them :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:.

Left the window open for a while and now I have two of them in my room making noise and flying directly at my face. They're loud, clumsy and hyperactive, but I don't want to kill them.

I used to turn off the light in my room, open my door and turn on the light in my brothers room across the hall.

They are slow and not very clever, just grab them in your hand.

This works. Tried and tested.

I just grab them by the wing, they are easy to catch. They will flap about a bit but just let them fly out the window. Don't grab them be the leg of it will pull off.

I thought they were called Johnny Longlegs.

My cat eats them.

Plus watching her try to catch them is amusing.

In the last two days I've spent 15 saving the life of a particular crane fly. He's been in the shower as I turn the water on, slipping & sliding frantically trying to get away from the water. Why do I save this guy, I hear you ask? Let me tell you why.......

About 2 yrs ago, I was watching a film in my sitting room. There was daddy longs in the room mouching around the light for long periods of said movie. Really pissing me off.

This particular light was right above the tv. There's an opening at the top to reach in and swap out the bulbs obbo.

Anyway, cunto himself falls into it. Now what I'm about to tell you may sound ridiculous but......when this guy fell in to the shade I'm almost certain, I could hear his screams as he was being cooked alive. What also didn't help the situation was the fact that everything that was happening in the lampshade, was actually getting projected all over the wall below it. Like a MONSTEROUS spider in a horror movie.

Anyway, up I jump to somehow help this tiny criter. I pull the shade the off and yer man jumps in a last attempt to somehow save himself. He hits the ground and nothing....no sign of life.....he's dead. It sounds crazy but I was absolutely gutted. I blamed myself, could of I have done more to save him? but then he moved. YES!!!! Yes he's alive. He started movie around. I was genuinely so happy.

My cat noticed him, walked over and ate him.

True story.

I feel sorry for them to have such a daft moniker.

When I was at school we used to catch them on the windows as it seemed they liked to hang out there.

We would then pull their wings and legs of and when people were out for break @ 11am we would stick the bits in peoples lunch...bad people...like the teacher who left their sandwich on his desk...and the student(s) who were c*nts!!

Fun times!!
